PARCEL-FASTENING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 309,303, dated December 16, 1884.

Application filed September 17. 1884 T 0 ctZl whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PI-IILIP-G.- HUBERT, J r., a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Parcel-Fastening, of which the following is a specification.

My invention constitutes a new and useful article of manufacture-namely, a fastening or adjustable tie for small bundles or packages. The rubber bands commonly used for this purpose are not durable enough for holding together bundles and documents intended for filing away. I attain my object of making a more durable and convenient fastening or tie by using a twisted wire having openings or loops at regular intervals along its length,

in which the hooked end of'the wire or tie may be caught.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents my improved fastening, and Fig. 2 shows the same in place upon a package of papers.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. i

A and B are two strands of wire twisted together to form a band, C. Said strands are (No model.)

opened to form eyes or loops D along the body portion of the band. At one end of said band is formed an enlarged ring, F, and the hook E is formed at the other end.

In operation the band is placed. around the bundle or package of objects to be fastened together and drawn as tightly as desired. is then secured in place by engaging the hook E in and with one of the eyes or loops D. The loop may be conveniently disengaged from the book by drawing upon the ring F, in which the finger of the operator may be inserted.

I claim as my invention- 1. A package-band or fastening consisting of strands of wire twisted together, and having along its body portion eyes or loops and at one end a hook, substantially as described.

2. A packageband or fastening consisting of strands of wire twisted together, and having along its body portion eyes or loops and a ring at one end and a hook at the opposite end, substantially as described.
